Chapter 922: The Creator of the Heavenly Court (Third Update!)
Her beauty was like an utterly pure lake, with no impurities to be seen. Her smile seemed to reflect her heart, so pure and flawless that any excessive imagination felt like a desecration of her.
Qin Mu withdrew his gaze, his face full of smiles, suppressing his pounding heart, and thought to himself: "Even more formidable than that demonic former Giao Chủ Li Tianxing. In the art of playing with people's hearts, Li Tianxing is still just an apprentice. If I hadn't seen Jue Wuchen before, I really might have had my soul hooked by her. This woman has only one flaw—her chest isn't big enough..."
The Yao Sea was turbulent, with terrifying roars sounding incessantly. Those two gods and demons hid in the darkness, their divine powers clashing secretly, making the Yao Sea outside the Man Hui Corridor Pavilion seem like a world being destroyed.
Qin Mu turned and walked into the pavilion, smiling: "Brother Yun, things are only going to get livelier here now. Since we have nothing better to do, why not take this opportunity to undo the Bloodline Great Curse on you?"
Yun Jianli quickly followed him. The two arrived at the seaside pavilion of the Man Hui Corridor Pavilion. Qin Mu sat down and asked: "Who is that divine king in the sky? Does Brother Yun recognize him?"
Yun Jianli said: "That person is using a dharma manifestation, not his true appearance. However, one can tell who he is from his divine powers. The divine powers of an existence like him are easy to identify. He is Nan Ming Divine King, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court. And the one in the sea is the ancient god, Northern Emperor Xuanwu. Nan Ming's thunder-fire against the Five Great Cloud Thunders—although they hide their faces, even so, they cannot fool each other."
Qin Mu's third eye on his brow opened wide, activating his Taiwei Palace Upper Consciousness, mobilizing his divine consciousness. In an instant, his divine consciousness became incomparably powerful!
Hum—
In the rhombus-shaped pupil of his third eye, his divine consciousness transformed into a beam of light that shone directly onto Yun Jianli's brow!
At that moment, a dim great sun suddenly lit up in the sky. The sun appeared exceptionally bleak through the layers of dense fog.
However, the sun gently shook, and behind the dark clouds, countless suns appeared in the blink of an eye—one after another, hanging in the sky, hidden behind the clouds.
Then, countless black three-legged birds flew out from those suns, diving toward the dark clouds, weaving through them to arrive at the dark Yao Pool!
Various mournful cries came from the sky. Countless three-legged golden crows dragged bright flames through the darkness, charging toward the pavilion of the Man Hui Corridor Pavilion—truly blotting out the sky and covering the earth!
Yun Jianli couldn't help but roll his eyes to look outside, saying in a hoarse voice: "It's the Great Sun Star Lord!"
Yan'er, Dragon Qilin, and the others hurried over. When they reached the vicinity of the pavilion, Yan'er suddenly transformed into a dragon sparrow, spread her wings and flew up to land on the tip of the pavilion, nervously watching the golden crows swooping in from all directions.
Qi Jiuyi was about to rush over when Yun Chuxiu smiled: "Young Master Qi, that place is dangerous. Why risk your life?"
Qi Jiuyi's gaze was gentle: "Staying by your side is more dangerous. You've affected my dao heart." With that, he walked toward the pavilion where Qin Mu was.
Yun Chuxiu puffed up her cheeks in anger and followed him.
Suddenly, dim and indistinct stars appeared in the sky, then the stars shook as if space and time were unstable. One by one, the stars kept falling, plunging into the Yao Sea with rumbling booms.
The stars in the sky pierced through the thick, heavy dark clouds, dragging long tails of fire. When they crashed into the Yao Sea, the sea surface exploded. One by one, ancient and majestic deities rose slowly from the darkness within the sea, reaching out to grab the golden crows flying everywhere.
The giants in the sea were countless, and the golden crows flying in the sky were also countless. They fought each other, making it difficult for others to approach the Man Hui Corridor Pavilion.
Qin Mu traced back to the source, following Yun Jianli's bloodline with his divine consciousness to pursue the origin of the Bloodline Great Curse, finally locating the curse magic hidden within the bloodline.
But at that moment, a roar came from the sky. A giant hand parted the suns, stars, and dark clouds filling the sky, descending from above to press down toward the Man Hui Corridor Pavilion!
This hand rubbed against the air, igniting raging flames, determined to crush the island where the Man Hui Corridor Pavilion stood into dust, burning it to ashes!
At that moment, a metallic clang sounded. To the west of the island, golden light blazed brilliantly. A round mass of light came from the west, rapidly rolling to hover above the Man Hui Corridor Pavilion.
That mass of golden light spun at tremendous speed. Within the light, a white tiger could be faintly seen leaping and frolicking joyfully. Countless golden sword energies shot up into the sky, and in an instant, the flaming giant hand was riddled with holes!
A cold snort came from the sky. Suddenly, fire blazed up, and a golden pillar descended from the heavens, plunging straight into the Yao Sea. The pillar was immeasurably tall. Using the Man Hui Corridor Pavilion as its center, it began to churn, stirring up the seas and rivers!
Meanwhile, that mass of golden light floated above the Man Hui Corridor Pavilion, radiating brilliant light. Dao sounds vibrated and echoed. Within the golden light, the white tiger pounced, repeatedly blocking that pillar.
The pillar rapidly shrank, becoming like a golden needle, appearing and disappearing mysteriously, making it difficult for the golden light to withstand.
Just then, a golden list flew in from the darkness, fluttering in the wind. With a ding, the golden needle stabbed into the golden list and nearly couldn't extricate itself.
The golden list and golden needle collided in midair, unleashing terrifying power that made everyone on the island tremble with fear. Any one of these attacks landing on this island would be enough to vaporize the island and everyone on it cleanly, leaving not even their souls intact!
Even Yan'er, at the Lingxiao realm, was utterly unable to withstand it—only death awaited!
"Brother Yun, don't be distracted."
Qin Mu sensed that Yun Jianli's divine consciousness was somewhat scattered, and reminded him: "Your mind is disturbed. It's interfering with my removal of the Bloodline Great Curse from your body."
Yun Jianli couldn't help but say: "Can the Heavenly Venerable truly remain so calm? Are you not afraid? If the powerful ones protecting you fail to hold the line, any single divine power would be enough to kill us a thousand times over!"
Qin Mu's divine consciousness surged into his Spiritual Embryo Divine Treasury. His divine consciousness was like a golden torrent, crashing against the spiritual platform, condensing into a radiant golden altar. He smiled: "Naturally, I'm afraid. But they know their limits. Those who want me dead won't completely tear off all pretense—completely tearing off pretense means tearing apart the Heavenly Court. And those who want me alive will protect me at all costs. That's where the chance of survival lies. Hasn't Brother Yun already prepared himself for death? Why are you still afraid?"
Yun Jianli's primordial spirit watched the divine consciousness altar within his Spiritual Embryo Divine Treasury. Qin Mu's divine consciousness had actually condensed into a physical object—such powerful divine consciousness was something he had never seen before.
"It's because of the Bloodline Great Curse that I can't live to the moment of becoming a god, so I wasn't afraid of death. But now that death is truly at hand, I'm still afraid." He couldn't help but laugh.
Outside, even more terrifying fluctuations came. Firelight flew in from somewhere unknown, like an incomparably massive firebird racing through the darkness.
On the pavilion, the plump dragon sparrow that Yan'er had transformed into couldn't help but cheer and hop around, nearly collapsing the pavilion.
Things grew increasingly chaotic here. New powerful existences kept joining the fray.
In the darkness, another Nether Capital Heavenly Gate slowly rose from the Yao Sea. A scroll of the Book of Life and Death flew out from the gate, radiating brilliant light, shining toward this side.
The moment the Book of Life and Death appeared, behind the island where the Man Hui Corridor Pavilion stood, a massive dragon head emerged. Its long neck arched over the island, and the dragon head blocked in front of the Man Hui Corridor Pavilion, letting the Book of Life and Death shine upon it.
The giant dragon breathed out, and thunder spanning ten thousand li crashed into the Nether Capital Heavenly Gate.
Suddenly, an ancient tree descended from the sky, slamming heavily onto the giant dragon's head. The dragon's head was pressed into the Yao Sea. The dragon rolled its body, avoiding the island so as not to crush the people on it.
The giant dragon coiled around, locking onto the ancient tree. The tree's roots suddenly surged, climbing onto the dragon's body, tumbling and fighting in the sea and among the clouds.
Yun Jianli, Qi Jiuyi, and the others watched, dazzled and shaken, terror rising in their hearts. The island where the Man Hui Corridor Pavilion stood was far too dangerous—it could be blasted to ashes at any moment.
Even so, those fighting were still not the strongest existences. The strongest existences in the Heavenly Court were the Ten Heavenly Venerables!
Those ten most powerful existences in all of history!
The rhombus-shaped pupil on Qin Mu's brow grew brighter and brighter. He activated the Taichu Primal Stone with all his might. The golden altar he had set up within Yun Jianli's Spiritual Embryo Divine Treasury was now activated!
The curse within Yun Jianli's bloodline was unraveled thread by thread by this altar, being drawn out of the bloodline bit by bit!
At that moment, the sky shook with a great rumble. Dao sounds filled the heavens, vibrating endlessly, momentarily overwhelming all the hidden existences fighting in the Yao Sea!
This power was so terrifying, so overwhelming, that it made people feel almost no desire to resist!
Not only did the people on the island feel a shock to their hearts, but even those terrifying existences locked in battle fell silent.
In an instant, the Yao Sea became calm. Giants hid their faces within the dark clouds. Suns and moons rose from the sea, hiding behind the dark clouds.
One by one, stars floated back up into the sky and disappeared.
The golden light flew away, the golden list retreated, the white banner vanished, the golden needle flew back, the divine dragon dove into the sea, the black tortoise fled—leaving only the quiet Yao Sea, as if the nearly world-destroying battle had never happened.
The sky remained overcast with dark clouds, hiding the sun, plunging the Yao Sea into deep darkness. Only the Man Hui Corridor Pavilion remained brightly lit.
At this moment, a figure walked across the sea surface toward them. It was he who had unleashed an aura and momentum surpassing the Di Zuo realm, frightening everyone away.
He had this strength.
If he wanted to kill someone, no one in the Heavenly Court could stop him!
Now he had come to kill!
He still hid his face, not wanting anyone to see his true form.
After all, the person he was going to kill was the Shepherd Heavenly Venerable—a Heavenly Venerable who had taught the method of becoming a god to all living beings, bringing the realm of godhood into the mortal world.
He didn't want to leave too many traces, lest someone with sharp eyes catch his trail and use it to suppress him or eliminate him.
Now, there were no more obstacles in his path.
He was already very close to the Man Hui Corridor Pavilion.
Yun Jianli quickly turned his head, saying in a hoarse voice: "Shepherd Heavenly Venerable!"
Qin Mu was still wholeheartedly removing the Bloodline Great Curse from him, and said calmly: "Don't be anxious. What came before was merely the opening act. Now comes the main event."
Qi Jiuyi broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, despair in his heart. Yan'er also flew back into the pavilion, nervously ruffling her feathers. She took out a lantern from somewhere, but even holding the lantern, she was still trembling.
This was the lantern the Moon Heavenly Venerable had given her, containing the Moon Heavenly Venerable's divine power. But whether she could use the Moon Heavenly Venerable's divine power to save their lives—Yan'er herself had no confidence.
Only Dragon Qilin remained lying at the foot of the pavilion, squinting his eyes, dozing off.
At that moment, lamplight shone up from beneath the sea surface.
The figure suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked down at the sea below.
Beneath the sea surface, a paper boat was sailing right beneath his feet, following him like his own reflection. On that paper boat, an old man held up a horse lantern.
The figure stopped, and the paper boat also ceased moving.
Inside the Man Hui Corridor Pavilion, Qin Mu smiled: "Would you all like to witness the clash of existences who have cultivated to the incomplete Heavenly Court realm?"
"No!"
Qi Jiuyi said decisively: "Even if beaten to death, I don't want to! This scene is already beyond control!"
Cold sweat rolled down his forehead, and his heart was filled with utter despair.
The yin official old man—the Heavenly Qiren Sage King of the Nether Capital, also the You Heavenly Venerable among the Nine Heavenly Venerables of the Longhan Era, the creator and founder of the Life and Death Divine Treasury!
And the other person—unknown who he was, but he was certainly a Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court.
If two Heavenly Venerables were to do battle here, what terrifying waves would that stir up?
Not to mention the small pavilion, the small Man Hui Corridor Pavilion, the small island—even whether the Yao Pool itself could be preserved was uncertain. Perhaps even the entire Heavenly Court would be shattered to pieces!
That person did not make a move. Instead, he looked at the tranquil sea surface. The paper boat beneath the sea floated quietly in another world, as if that side was the sea surface and this side was the seabed.
On the paper boat, the You Heavenly Venerable remained silent, making no move at all.
Both sides had their reservations, unwilling to easily break this balance, unwilling to shatter the Yao Pool or even the Heavenly Court into pieces.
At that moment, Qin Mu finally extracted all the Bloodline Great Curse from Yun Tianzun's body. It was a blood-colored divine consciousness, forcibly bound by him onto the altar within Yun Jianli's Spiritual Embryo Divine Treasury.
Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the blood-colored divine consciousness on the altar condensed into a blurry figure, letting out a strange, indistinct laugh: "Hehehe... Which creator is it who removed my Bloodline Great Curse? I never expected that besides me, there would be another creator in the Heavenly Court..."
Qin Mu transmitted his voice through divine consciousness, smiling: "It was me."
"So it's the Shepherd Heavenly Venerable."
The figure said in surprise: "You actually understand the sorcery of my race. The title of Heavenly Venerable is one you truly deserve. But you can't even protect yourself, yet you dare to ruin my good deed. Ah, you really don't know your place! You should have just protected your own life here, but instead you had to provoke me."
The sky above the Yao Pool suddenly churned violently—a second Heavenly Venerable had descended!
The fragile balance between the figure on the sea surface and the You Heavenly Venerable was shattered in an instant by this uninvited guest!
